Churchill outlines India crisis and Japan influence in war effort
Prime Minister Churchill told the House of Commons that independence for India remains unlikely amid rising unrest led by the Congress and possible Japanese fifth column activity. He cited 1,000,000 Indian volunteers for war service and 40,000 in two months, defended dominion status, and noted few Indians favor Cripps proposals. He affirmed strong imperial support for the viceroy and Indian army to resist invasion.
